[Coco] This is a "new" one for E-Bay

[Josh Harper]

well I forgot to say  it wasn't  just the stuff in the foot locker  stuff that was even in there original boxes as well
my stuff was in a  climate controlled storage  building  not   the  non climate type with  a garage door

they said lowest 65  and highest 75

65 is  still to cold 

any safe way to get the white back

When looking for storage, bear in mind that the only thing "climate 
controlled" means about those places is tat it has a decent roof and your 
stuff won't get wet.

To a certain extent yes.  In this case since it was supposedly in the 
dark, we can't claim it was from UV absorption that darkened it.  Far more 
likely that in the heat of the summer, it hit 120F or above in that shed 
and something in the footlocker sent out some fumes, possibly even the 
foot locker itself.

We don't usually have a clue what kind of woods those are made out of, but 
some of the more "tropical" woods may well fill the locker with fumes that 
aren't kind to the plastic.  Even the finish on the wood may be guilty.
